DJ SPOTLIGHT #5 - DJ Mister Vee

Ever wondered who exactly was behind your favourite show on CJLO? CJLO 1690 AM presents DJ Spotlight, a brand new series aiming to connect the station's DJs to the public. All the DJs answer the same fixed questions—meaning it's up to them to make their answers worth your while. This week, we introduce you Mike Vo, or DJ Mister Vee, host of Beats from the East.

As it is the case with many of CJLO's DJs, I came to the station in order to introduce diversity and new ideas. I was tired of the lack of variety available on Montreal's radio waves as well as their lack of creativity. There are too many generic cookie-cutter radio shows that feature identical playlists (Anglophone and Francophone stations alike). I joined CJLO in order to help counter this.

I have no Communications degree, however I have a lifelong experience in discovering new music and trying to find the “next big thing”. I also had the privilege of growing up watching Arsenio Hall, “Mean” Gene Okerlund, Fab 5 Freddy, Jesse "The Body" Ventura, “Rowdy” Roddy Piper, and other amazing entertainers who were really great with the mic.
